Mindtools are technology applications that allow learners to simulate, organize, manipulate, visualize, or reflect on information. They promote critical thinking and knowledge building. Examples include databases for organizing data, collaborative databases for shared knowledge building like Wikipedia, visualization tools like concept maps for picturing relationships, simulations for interacting with processes, hypertext for nonsequential text, and digital storytelling for reflecting and communicating views.

1. Technology as
Mindtool

2. Mindtools are technology application that
allows the learners to simulate, organize,
manipulate, visualize, or reflect on data,
information and objects.
Mindtools are knowledge building tools that
allow learners to think critically about the
matter they are studying.

3. The semantic- organization tools like
databases and concepts- mapping tools and
Knowledge- building tools
Like simulations, visualization tools,
hypertext and hypermedia are some of the
examples of mindtools that promote
student learning using technology
application.

4. Mindtool Purpose Example
Database A type of software that
organizes data for easy
and quick retrieval of
information
 Access
 Spread sheet
Collaborative Database A special type of
database that supports a
shared process of
knowledge building; it
engages students in a
problem- solving process
 Wikipedia
Visualization Tool Allows the learner to.
Picture, or represent how
various phenomena
operate within different
domains
 ReadWrite Think- helps in
the creation of venn
diagrams
 Spreadsheet
 Inspiration's InspireData

5. Concept Map A graphical tool to organize
and represent knowledge
 Bubble us
 Wise Mapping
 Inspiration and
kidspiration application
 Word processor
Simulation Provides a simplified
version of phenomena,
environments, or processes
that allow student to
interact with, or
manipulate and observe
the effects of those
manipulation
 Oregon yrail
 Sim City
 Microworld- a type of
simulation software
that allows learners to
manipulate, explore,
and experiment with
specific phenomena in
an exploratory learning
environment
 Interactive Physica-
enables learners to
build and test
mechanical design
models

6. Hypertext A nonsequential, or
nonlinear method of
oraganizing and
displaying text
 HTM
 Web development
software
Hypermedia A hyper with media
elements
 Images
 Sounds
 Videos
 Animation and others
Digital Storytelling Enables learners to
reflect, represent,
narrate, and
communicate their
views, facts and
information
 Imoves
 Garageband
 Presentation
software like MS
PowerPoint and
Apple's Keynote
